Simultaneously tragic and uplifting . . . Charlotte Levin is SUCH a clever writer - Ruth Jones, author of Love UntoldEvery morning, Janet Brown goes to work cleaning offices. It calms her – cleanliness, neatness. All the things she’s unable to do with her soul can be achieved with a damp cloth and a splash of bleach. However the guilt she still carries, about a devastating loss that happened eleven years ago, cannot be erased.

When Janet finds herself involved in a train crash, she recognizes her chance to do what she couldn’t all those years ago. And she makes a decision. As news spreads of Janet’s actions, her story inspires everyone around her and, for the first time, her life has purpose. Her future is filled with hope.

But Janets story isnt quite what it seems. And, as events spiral out of control, she soon discovers that coming clean isnt an option. Because if Janet washes away the lies, what long-buried truths will she finally have to face?If I Let You Go by Charlotte Levin is a deeply moving and compelling portrayal of a woman coming to terms with loss.
